Description: HP ICF SNMP MIB for link test diagnostics triggering cable and connectivity tests on HP ProCurve switch ports.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is HP-ICF-LINKTEST?

HP-ICF-LINKTEST is an HP proprietary MIB in the ICF product family that lets a network management station trigger and read back results of physical link diagnostic tests on ProCurve switch ports. Rather than continuous performance counters, it exposes control objects to initiate a cable/connectivity test on a given port and status objects reporting pass/fail or test-in-progress results. Its primary monitoring value is in fault detection: confirming whether a port's physical layer (cabling, transceiver, link partner) is healthy, which is directly relevant to hardware status verification when troubleshooting a suspect port. It builds on the standard IF-MIB interface index model to identify which port a test applies to. It is typically used interactively by network technicians diagnosing intermittent connectivity issues on HP ProCurve switches rather than through continuous automated polling. Engineers can download the HP-ICF-LINKTEST file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-ICF-LINKTEST. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • HP ProCurve switch

Monitoring Examples

With no sample_objects supplied, exact table names cannot be confirmed, but a typical implementation would include a link-test control object keyed by ifIndex and a corresponding result/status object. A technician troubleshooting a flapping port would set the test-trigger object for that ifIndex, then poll the result object to see whether the cable test reported a fault, open circuit, or pass.

What Can Be Monitored

  • port link test trigger status
  • link/cable test pass-fail result
